Investigated the relationship between verbal behavior patterns and supervisor (N=9) and trainee (N=30) judgments of satisfaction in the supervision interview. Results confirm the predictive validity of verbal behavior. Negative social emotional behavior added to the discomfort experienced. Use of excessive supportive communication is in question and not a positive predictor. (Author/JAC)
